Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 268

Chapter 268: Chapter 156: Seniority on Display, Mission Accomplished and Stepping Down (Part 2)

Feels like Li Jingsheng is too full of himself.

A clinic doctor should treat the health station like Boss Zhao does, with ’reverence’.

"Dr. Li is an ’expert’ personally invited by our station chief, surely he’s made more than a minor discovery. Hurry up and share your insights so we can all learn something."

A female doctor in her fifties spoke with an even stronger tone of sarcasm.

They say never to mess with a woman going through menopause.

Fifty, almost exactly the age of menopause for women.

"I wouldn’t dare call myself an expert! May I ask who is in charge of the patient?"

Li Jingsheng intentionally avoided the female doctor with hair slicked down with gel and sunken cheeks.

Seeing her eyebrows completely plucked, leaving only a thin line, she looked formidable, like an Extinction event waiting to happen.

"I’m the attending physician."

The female doctor replied directly.

"So you’re Dr. Zha, my apologies." Li Jingsheng was surprised to find Dr. Zha was a woman, he had always thought it was a male doctor. "Has the patient’s blood calcium been checked?"

"No!"

The female doctor shook her head.

"Has the blood oxygen been checked?"

"It hasn’t. The patient has abdominal pain due to excessive drinking. Checking blood calcium makes some sense, but why check blood oxygen? Just doing a routine blood test is good enough, don’t you all agree?"

She was clearly getting angry.

"Right, right, we usually only do routine blood tests. There’s no need to add unrelated tests and increase the patient’s financial burden."

A young male doctor chimed in supportively from the side.

Other doctors also nodded in agreement.

Standing together, united against outsiders, is human nature.

The doctors at the health station were certainly collectively maintaining Dr. Zha’s dignity.

"And what about blood sugar? Surely, that has been tested?"

"Blood sugar was tested once when the patient was admitted, normal. It’s about 6.5mmol/L."

Dr. Zha answered this time straightforwardly.

"Then I suggest rechecking the patient’s blood sugar, and also check the blood oxygen, blood calcium, and if possible, methemoglobin."

Li Jingsheng provided his suggestion.

"First, tell us your diagnostic reasoning! If we find it convincing, we’ll naturally adopt your suggestion. Young man, no offense, but our health station is a formal hospital, very different from your clinic. Every diagnostic procedure we do strictly follows regulations, unlike the casual methods in your clinics."

Dr. Zha asserted her authority.

Doctors like this are everywhere, especially in smaller hospitals where they emphasize their ’high’ level, formality, and authority.

Particularly those in their fifties and sixties, with decades of clinical experience, often believe their skills are not inferior to chief physicians in big hospitals.

Boss Zhao’s expression didn’t change; this guy is really sly.

Boss Ye listened with a face turned cold, but didn’t get angry.

"The patient’s white blood cell count is more than double the normal level, and along with the persistent high fever, abdominal rigidity, severe abdominal pain, cold extremities, and abdominal pain after drinking, I believe any two of these symptoms alone fully justify the tests for blood calcium, blood sugar, and blood oxygen."

Li Jingsheng said this without a smile on his face.

His voice was loud.
